| Mama never seemed to miss the finer things in life
|
| if she did, she never did say so to daddy
|
| she never wanted to be more than
|
| a mother and a wife
|
| if she did, she never did say so to daddy
|
| the only thing that seemed
|
| to be inportant in her life
|
| was to make a house a home and to make us happy
|
| Mama never wanted anymore than what she had
|
| if she did, she never did say so to daddy
|
| He often left her alone,
|
| she didn’t mind the stayin' home
|
| if she did, she never did say so to daddy
|
| and she never missed
|
| the flowers and the cards he never sent her
|
| if she did, she never did say so to daddy
|
| being took for granted was a that thing she accepted
|
| and she didn’t need those things to make her happy
|
| and she didn’t seem to notice
|
| that he didn’t kiss and hold her
|
| if she did, she never did say so to daddy
|
| One morning we awoke just to find a note
|
| Mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
|
| and as he began to read it out ears could not beleive it
|
| the words she had written there to daddy
|
| she said, «the kids are old enough,
|
| they don’t need me very much
|
| I’ve gone in search for love I need so badly
|
| I have needed you so long
|
| but I just can’t keep holding on»
|
| she never meant to come back home
|
| if she did, she never did say so to daddy
|
| Good-bye to daddy |
